8-year-old Jamal from Gaza was a sociable boy. He loved animals so he raised cats, dogs and birds. He had a cat named Samara and a dog named Max. “The dog was so used to Jamal. After Jamal’s death, his dog’s habits changed,” said his mother.

On the first day of the Eid holiday when a group of children were gathered in the street waiting for their turn to go on a swing, an Israeli warplane attacked them. 11 children were killed including Jamal.
